G
I'm back on dry land once again
     G7M
Opportunity awaits me like a rat in the drain
Dm              G7                    C
We're all hunting honey with money to burn
       Cm                    G/B                       Am  D
Just a short time to show you the tricks that we've learned


       G
If the boys all behave themselves here
           G7M
Well there's pretty young ladies and beer in the rear
Dm             G7                     C
You won't need a gutter to sleep in tonight
       Cm                   G/B            Am  D
Oh the prices I charge here will see you alright


       G
So she lays down beside me again
   G7M
My sweet painted lady, the one with no name
Dm                   G7           C
Many have used her and many still do
        C                     G/B              Am  D
There's a place in the world for a woman like you


   G              F#
Oh sweet painted lady
F                     E7
Seems it's always been the same
Am7             D
Getting paid for being laid
G                       Am7
Guess that's the name of the game
  G              F#
Oh sweet painted lady
F                     E7
Seems it's always been the same
Am7             D
Getting paid for being laid
G                       Am7 D
Guess that's the name of the game
 G  D7
Oh!


                 G
Forget us we'll have gone very soon
      G7M
Just forget we ever slept in your rooms
    Dm                         G7               C
And we'll leave the smell of the sea in your beds
      Cm                G/B               Am  D
Where love's just a job and nothing is said


       G
So she lays down beside me again
   G7M
My sweet painted lady, the one with no name
Dm                   G7           C
Many have used her and many still do
        C                     G/B              Am  D
There's a place in the world for a woman like you
